“I’ve seen others analyse complex genomic data, but I’ve never been been able to do that myself until now. I’m gaining skills that will make me a better scientist so that when I go back to Ghana, they will help me help others.

One tip I have for other students is that agriculture is for all and women can make a difference. When it gets harder, seek help from women in other fields.”
